Delmar, Maryland real estate is a unique investment opportunity on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Known as the “Little Town Too Big for One State”, Delmar straddles the Maryland/Delaware line and lies just north of Salisbury, on U.S Route 13, the Delmarva Peninsula's main north/south throughway. In 1859 the Delaware Railroad extended its track south to the Maryland/Delaware border.  At the end of the rail line, in both states, merchants took advantage of economic opportunity, and railroad workers established residences. As a result, two towns originated and prospered as one. Before the end of the century, both had been chartered as incorporated municipalities in their respective states: Delmar, Maryland, in 1888, and Delmar, Delaware, in 1899.

With a population of around 3,600 and nearly 2,000 residents on the Maryland side, Delmar retains it's small town charm yet is in close proximity to the larger city of Salisbury which is known for its large retail shopping opportunities, top-rated Peninsula Regional Medical Center, the Salisbury Zoo and Salisbury University, and only 35 minutes from Maryland’s beaches of Ocean City and Assateague Island. In the heart of Delmar is Delmar Park where children can play under the age old oaks and then enjoy the Eastern Shore cooking of the Old Mill Crab House. Delmar is also known for its history of Little League Baseball as well as the community’s fierce loyalty to the Wildcats, Delmar High School's football team, which has claimed many state championships.
